Cyclops is a jerk.
Apr. 18th, 2012 09:52 pmstarwolf_oakleyA VS. X makes it clear Cyclops is acting like a total jerk. And I wish it was Out Of Character for him, that some desperate hope Jean will come back is overriding his better judgement. Except it isn't. Cyclops being a jerk is standing operating procedure pretty much since DECIMATION started, if not before.

Avengers: Children's Crusade #9 (of 9)

stubbleupdateComixology's Marvel Half off Monday sale this week includes Illuminati. Yes, the entire Bendis/Cheung series is available for the princely sum of $4.95 (or £3something).
I know that I've already posted 4 pages from this issue already, and it's 4 very funny pages. It's the time that Bendis's Bendisisms actually worked and is some of the funnest and funniest Marvel stuff that I've read.
However, there's still a fair bit of gravitas and serious stuff in the series. To be honest, I can't think of any of Bendis' Avengers stuff that's come close to this quality in recent years, except for the Sentry/Norman Osborn chat that ended with them going to Five Guys Burgers
Each issue of the series tied in to an event or character in Marvel history.
#1 was the Illuminati sorting out the Skrulls, thus guaranteeing a Secret Invasion
#2 was the Illuminati collecting the Infinity Gems (how did that recent Avengers storyline finish?
#3 was the Illuminati versus the Beyonder
#4 was the Illuminati doing their Sex and the City chat and then trying to put Marvel Boy on the straight and narrow by smashing his head into a stone wall
and #5 was the reveal that one of the Illuminati was a Skrull.
This comes from #4, ( where Reed Richards is giving Marvel Boy a pep-talk. )
And Mods, are we having another 30 days theme this winter?

Enjoy!

Totally not too good to be true.
Jun. 29th, 2011 04:28 pmcolonel_greenYou know that episode of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog where Sonic and co. develop a de-Roboticizer that frees everybody's loved ones and Sonic gets his uncle back, only for the process to revert at the end because that would be too easy? This issue is like that. Four scans from Avengers: The Children's Crusade #6.

Avengers: Children's Crusade #6 preview
Jun. 23rd, 2011 11:58 amsherkahnAnyone still remember this?
Newsarama has the preview of Children's Crusage #6, as another group of superpowered youth muck around trying to rescue the Scarlet Witch.
It does lead to interesting reunions.
( When one isn't enough. )

An evening with the Illuminati
Dec. 1st, 2010 10:51 pmstubbleupdate
I understand that it's Friendship Day on Scans_Daily.As my contribution, I bring you one of my favourite issues of the last few years - New Avengers Illuminati #4.
Brian Michael Bendis comes in for a lot of grief for his Bendis-voice. What I am saying to you now is that sometimes it's um, like how people talk, you know.
What I am saying to you now is that when it's used for like, every character, and I mean like, every character, it gets incredibly tedious.
What I am saying to you now is that I never want to see the New Avengers sitting eating Chinese food again and have every character quipping like Spider-man.
However, ( sometimes, it totally works. )
